| HOW: | The Basic Skills programs are designed to meet the needs
of individuals requiring basic skills instruction, from new readers
to high school graduates and English as a Second Language. Structured classes are recommended at each level of instruction, starting with basic reading and moving toward the courses required for the GED high school equivalency preparation. Lab Instruction is also provided. This is an individualized study situation in which prescribed instructional materials and computer-based instruction are utilized. The lab instruction and regular classes use a variety of computer software especially tailored to different levels and needs. No registration fee is charged for these programs. Classes are offered both on the Sampson Community College campus and at class sites throughout the county. GED ONLINE is also available for students who have a computer and internet access. Call Kathy Peay at 592-8081 ext. 3519 or email kpeay@sampsoncc.edu for more information. Sampson Community College also serves as the GED testing center for Sampson County. Pre-tests and instruction, available at no charge through the Basic Skills Department, can help ensure success on the tests. Those obtaining satisfactory scores on the GED test are awarded the High School Diploma Equivalency Certificate. Textbooks are loaned to Basic Skills students while in the classroom or laboratory.
